GAS-BURNING PUDDLING-FURNACE.

SPECIFICATION forming part-of LettersuPatent No. 289,201, dated November:27, 1883,

Application filed Seiiember 1l, 1883. (No model.) Y

` To all/Z whom it may concern:

scription of the invention, which will enable others skilled in the artto which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had tothe accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specication, and inwhich- Figure l is a perspective view of my improved gas-burningpuddling-furnace, show-` ing a part of the casing broken away. Fig.

`2 is a side view of the same, showing the side of the casing brokenaway. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal vertical sectional view on line m sa,Fig.

kl; and Fig. 4 is a vertical sectional view on line y y, Fig. 2, lookingin the direction of the Similar letters of reference indicate correspending parts in all the figures.

Myinvention has relation to gas-burning `puddling-furnaces, and has forits object the tion of parts of the same, as will be herein after morefully described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, A repre' sents the body of the furnace 5B, the bottom plates of the furnace; G, the falsebottom of the same; D,the roof of the furnace; E, the neck of the same; F, the low gas-wall;G, the gas-burn er, extending the full width of the furnace; H, the highgasWall; I, gasChamber; J, hre-bridge; K, liuc-bridge; L, opening inilue; M, stack of furnace, and N the air-chamber. The above-mentionedparts are old, and form no part of my present invention.

O represents a partition-wall, which divides the space between the falsebottom C and the bottom of the furnace, and also theainchanr ber proper,N, into two spaces, A A, the space A being open at its outer end for theadmis` sion of cold air.

P indicates a ilue which leads from the stack of the furnace over theroof of the furnace and down into the hot-air space A', the flue Pserving to bring hot products of combustion from the stack down into thehot-air space A'.

Q Q indicate dampers which cover open` ings R R in the rear end of thebottom plates of the furnace, the damper Q regulating the amount of hotair fed through the hot-air flue A', while the damper Q regulates theamount of cold air fed through the cold-air flue A.

From the foregoing description, takenAJ in connection with theaccompanying drawings, the construction and operation of my improvedgas-burning puddling-furnace will readily be understood withoutrequiring further explana tion. It will be s'een that by means of thedampers Q Q, I am enabled to regulate the amount of hot or cold airnecessary for the proper combustion of the gas, thereby effecting agreat saving ofgas, and also rendering the heat from the burners of aneven quality and character.

Having thus described my invention, I claim and desire to secure byLetters Patent of the United States- In a gas-burning puddling-furnaceof substantially the described construction, the combination of thedivision-wall 0, dividing the air-chamber into two flues or spaces, Aand A, `flue P, leading from the stack of the furnace to the hot-airflue A', and dampers Q Q', regulating the amount of hot and cold air fedthrough the flues A A into the gas-chamber, as and for the purpose shownand set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereuntoaflixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.

JOSEPH C. VILLIAMS.
